[Closed] Spoke calculations - Hope XC rear and WTB Speeddisc.

Building my first wheel, struggling to find an online spoke calculator
that contains the info for the XC hub and the WTB speeddisc rim. My best
guess with one calculator is 273.3 left and 274.5 right, which seems
wrong, as that means the drive side spokes are longer.

What size (DT swiss double butted) spokes should I buy?

Cheers.

try the DT swiss calculator. Its been fine for all my wheel which have always seemed to work out OK.

I'm sure I'm normally using 260 or 262mm spokes generally. 273 seems long. is it 3x or 4x? - number of spokes that cross

By my calculations from the past, speed-discs had a 538mm ERD which you should be able to put in the DT Swiss calculator. Anybody else tried using it in the last 5mins and found "other" option for hub measurements has vanished?
